WASHINGTON — The government has been trying for years, with one spectacular failure along the way, to develop systems to retard aircraft fires such as the one that swept the Airlines jetliner this week.
The Associated Press
FAA trying to end fire hazard
was close to requiring airlines to add it to jet fuel.
The hope at one time was that an anti-misting fuel additive would prevent the vapors in jet fuel from igniting and exploding in a crash.
In on the-ground stationary tests the additive appeared to work, and the Federal Aviation Administration
But when the FAA deliberately crashed a remote-controlled Boeing 720 in the California desert six years ago to test the idea under realistic conditions, the jetliner exploded into flames.
Eleven months later, the FAA said. "The concept is not practical for day-to-day airline operation in the foreseeable future."
The experiment was not repeated, and as Monday's runway collision at
Detroit's Metropolitan Airport shows, fire remains a constant hazard in aviation accidents.
The eight apparently died from inhaling noxious fumes before their bodies were burned, officials said.
The collision of two Northwest jetliners, a DC-9 and a Boeing 737, killed eight people aboard the DC-9 aircraft with a shredded and fire-chirped hulk.
At least 20 other people were hospitalized with burns, broken bones and smoke inhalation.
